Happy Easter everyone! Hope you are having a super Sunday afternoon. I am pleased to report that the sore throat is improving, but the snot levels have increased, and now a cough has joined the party! Typical, first sign of good weather and the start of my holiday and I get whapped with a germ. I guess that's what happens when you've been working full pelt for months, defences get low and those sneaky little suckers slip in when you're not looking.
I had been looking forward to a quiet afternoon of crafting but next door are having a family BBQ. The trampoline is in full use and the swimming pool is now out for the summer. Cousin Daniel is visiting. For a young boy, he's got a voice like a foghorn and he's a right bossy little tyke. Mind you, his mother obviously has a short fuse (and she has a voice like a cheesegrater). All I can hear is "Daniel, stop that...." "Daniel, don't do that....." "Daniel ....." I've come in from my craft space (in the conservatory) for a bit of peace!
JUST MAGNOLIA AND HANGLAR & STANGLAR challenge this week have a super sketch to follow and I have a feeling I shall be using this one again.
I had these Basic Grey "Pyrus" papers as an Easter present and the colours are so rich and gorgeous. I've teamed them up with this little cutie American Indian Tilda. She's painted with a mixture of Distress Inks and PrismaColor pencils. A Craftwork Cards sentiment to finish. With those fabbie papers I didn't think she needed anything else.
For those of you waiting for the Distress Inks Tutorial - Part One is out there now! Be kind, please!
Hugs, Sxx
